The global automotive navigation system market size is expected to register a substantial CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to factors including the expansion of the automotive sector, rising traffic jams, rising adoption of car Global positioning system navigation systems, rising population, rising demand for real-time traffic information, and rising investment in the advancement of automotive facilities in developing countries.

An automotive navigation system is an arbiter-party insert or component of an automobile's instrument that provides location and assistance during driving. The system generally uses a satellite communication device to start receiving location information, which is then associated with a road location, and then the person can measure or calculate the path they have to start taking from one point to the other – along with many other relevant aspects such as time-to-destination – utilizing computer graphics mapping. In the event of a failure of connection, vehicle navigation systems contain a backup database.
Previously, automobile navigation systems merely provided instructions; but, because of recent technological advances and actual data collection, the device also provides information about hotels, petrol stations, route possibilities, traffic alerts, and travel time. These systems can be linked to and controlled via cellphones Wi-Fi, and via Bluetooth, allowing users to communicate and text hands-free. These devices now come featuring LCD screens, allowing users to are using them for amusement as well.
